    Psychology of People Who Know How To Fix Everything

    This came across my Youtube feed for some reason.
    I'd say as model builders, this video applies to most of us. It does to me. Carol, my partner, likes to know how people tick, especially me. Myself, I'm much better with inanimate objects and stay away from the people part.

    What about you?

    Ditto. Funny how nut-job, mechanically inclined a-holes like us manage to attract and grab the right gal, at the right time, to steady our course through life; enabling our plans and dreams; making us (sometimes kicking and screaming) better than we otherwise would have been.

      I call it fate, or better yet, pre ordained, and that fate is outside of your control. However, you can shape destiny with your choices. Now, I believe, absolutely 100% without a doubt, your marriage to Ellie, like mine with my wife, saved my ass. That’s a hard one. Was it fate, or was it destiny? Having met Carol at several subregattas, I have no doubt that she’s the best thing that ever happened to Ken. So we all three are lucky as hell. Lastly, regarding Ken’s original post, I too, would rather work on machinery, than deal with human beings at times. Machines that break can most of the time be fixed. Flawed humans cannot, and are best avoided.
      Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
